Yes, it’s that time again! The holidays will be here before you know it, and we’ve timed our next Boudoir Marathon perfectly so that you’ll be sure to get your Book or Album back just in time to make the perfect Christmas gift for your sweetie! So many ladies call or e-mail us in December as they’re scrambling for gift ideas, and we hate telling them that there just isn’t enough time to get a product back in time for Christmas. Avoid the rush and book your session now, whether it’s just for yourself or you’ll be giving someone special a gift to remember. We can’t wait to hear from you!!

We recently realized it’s been quite a while since our very first Pillow Talk post, and we really want to start sharing more client feedback with all of you ladies who might be considering booking your very own boudoir session! We asked the lovely Miss C. if she would mind if we shared some of her images on our blog, and if she had any thoughts she’d like to share regarding her session during our Spring Boudoir Marathon. What she sent us completely blew us away, humbled us, and reaffirmed to us the reason we do what we do and why we love our jobs so much! We LOVE making women feel beautiful and confident, and we are so happy to hear feedback like this from the girls who book their shoots with us. Read on to hear what Miss C. has to say…

“Thank you Carolina & Zekeshem for the beautiful photos! Not only did I have an amazing, surprising gift for my boyfriend, you also helped me feel beautiful and sexy! I am a self professed tom boy, and wanted to do something “outside the box” for my boyfriend’s birthday. But at the end of the day, I got so much more out of it than just a gift for my boyfriend. The whole experience gave me a new confidence about myself, and taught me to just let loose and have fun with it. I have never been the most self-confident girl, and I don’t always feel pretty. But the photo session was so much fun and it made me feel amazing!

So, why did I decide to do it? A friend of mine had recently done a Boudoir marathon with Room 3307 for her husband for Valentines Day, and she couldn’t help but show off her photos. As soon as I saw the beautiful images, I couldn’t wait to give Carolina & Zekeshem a call and find out when the next marathon session would be! My boyfriend’s birthday was coming up and I knew it would be the LAST thing he would ever expect me to do. I was a bit nervous at first, but the excitement grew once I started shopping for outfits and coming up with ideas. When the day came, Carolina & Zekeshem did such a great job of making me feel comfortable and just relaxed. It was so easy and fun! (The mimosas in the morning probably didn’t hurt either!)

After the session, I couldn’t wait to get the photos. When I finally did get to see them, I was so excited! They were amazing! I had to narrow it down to 20 for my book, but it was so hard because I loved them all! I finally did make a decision and I LOVE my book. Carolina & Zekeshem did a great job of working with me on the layout of the book until it was perfect.

And let me just say, when I did finally give the book to my boyfriend, he LOVED it! He was so surprised and couldn’t put it down! He couldn’t believe that I would do something like that, and he kept saying how “hot” I look. A few weeks later now, and he still brings it up all the time! All along I thought he would really love the sexier photos of me, since that is typically what guys like and so far off the spectrum for me, but surprisingly his favorite photos are the sporty ones in my Chicago Cubs gear (he is a HUGE Cubs fan). He loves that I can be sexy but still be that sporty girl he loves.

Overall, I had an AMAZING experience with Room 3307, and I would LOVE to do it again with these lovely ladies! I am showing my photos to all my friends and telling them they should do it, not only for their significant others, but for themselves. I decided to share my images with all ladies looking to do a session because I wanted to show the “average” girl that they too can look and feel amazing. No matter what insecurities you may think you have, Carolina & Zekeshem know how to photograph the female body to a way that is very flattering, and will make you feel and look amazing.”

Hello again, ladies! What an exciting summer this has been! We’ve been busy with all kinds of things, including boudoir sessions, weddings, and of course Carolina just had her baby!! (That’s really the most exciting news!!) Emily is the most precious little girl, and we are all so happy she’s finally here!

As summer starts to come to a close, we look ahead to the fall and winter seasons. I know it’s hard to think about it now, but this is the time to start thinking about holiday gifts for this winter! We’ve set up our Fall Boudoir Marathon to be perfectly timed so that you are guaranteed to get your Boudoir Book, Deluxe Boudoir Album, or any other products back in time for the holidays. You don’t want to miss out on this opportunity! Last year we had several last minute requests for holiday sessions, and we just weren’t able to promise they’d be done on time. Avoid that stress and make your reservation today!

As always, we’re including everything with this special: a gorgeous boutique hotel for our location, professional hair styling and airbrush makeup by the talented Aimee Roa, a one hour photo shoot, champagne and refreshments, a password protected online gallery of your images for three months, a 6×6 Boudoir Book with up to 24 of your favorite images (fully retouched), and 20% off any purchase at The Pink Petticoat lingerie store in Hyde Park! And as always, we offer a full range of upgrades and add ons, including bigger Books ($150 more for a 9×9), our Deluxe Boudoir Album ($500 additional), plus calendars, canvases, prints and more!

If you aren’t able to make it on September 18th or 19th, but would still like to have a book made in time for the holidays, we’ll still be accepting reservations for private sessions up until October 15th if you’re getting a Deluxe Boudoir Album, or Nov 1st if you’re getting a Boudoir Book. Of course we can book private sessions after that, but those are the cutoff dates to make sure you get your album or book back by the third week in December.

All of the details are below! Remember, if you refer a friend and you both book, you’ll each receive a complimentary 8×10 Mounted Art Print from your sessions as a referral gift! It’s our way of thanking you…and we really do appreciate each and every one of you! We’re excited about our Fall Marathon, and we can’t wait to meet you!

Hi, Ladies! We’re super excited to officially announce our Spring Boudoir Marathon taking place from April 30th – May 2nd! We announced it to our VIP List girls first, and then on Facebook…without any blogging or advertising, we’re already half-way sold out!! We’re just blown away by the positive response we’re getting, and we can’t thank you enough!! We’ve booked a couple of rooms at a gorgeous boutique hotel in Tampa (one for hair and makeup, and another for your shoot), and we’re taking care of all the little details: hair and makeup, champagne, refreshments, and more! You’ll have both of us as your photographers during your one-hour shoot, making sure every flattering angle is covered, and every hair is in place! (Plus, we just have a lot more fun when we shoot together!) Looking for ideas on what to wear for your session? We’re also including 20% off at the Pink Petticoat lingerie store in Hyde Park! Just go talk to Lesley, she’s amazing at helping our clients find the perfect set or sexy outfit.

After your shoot, we’ll create a private online gallery for you where you’ll be able to view all of your session images. Choose your favorites (up to 24) to be fully retouched and featured in your 6×6 Boudoir Book, also included in the marathon price! If you’d like your images to really make a statement, upgrade to our 9×9 Boudoir Book for only $150 more, or indulge in our most luxurious option, the 10×10 Deluxe Boudoir Album, for an additional $500. We’ve got every gift idea covered, with add-ons including calendars, wall canvases, fold-away folios, and art prints. The possibilities are endless!

All of the details are below. Questions? Feel free to call or e-mail…we’re here to help, and we can’t wait to meet you!

Today started off gloomy and chilly, but thankfully not as rainy as yesterday. We love shooting using as much natural light as possible, but with the heavy cloud cover we knew we’d have to pull out a few lights. While we mainly prefer to shoot using natural light, we’re now in LOVE with our brand new video light! That, combined with our regular hot lights, created such gorgeous lighting and was really fun to experiment with. As soon as Miss B walked in the room, we knew we were going to have a blast…no clouds were gonna stop us from having an amazing shoot today! We were too excited to wait until after the marathon to post some of her images, so without further ado, here are some of our favorites from today. (Thanks, B, for letting us post these!!)

We kicked things off with some champagne and music while Aimee (we loooove her!) did B’s makeup and hair for the photo shoot.

Why are tiny foods just so cute? We love to serve pretty little snacks for our girls!

Miss B brought along a few things that she knew her hubby would love….his favorite baseball player’s jersey (Jason Varitek) and of course a Boston Red Sox hat!

You probably can’t tell from these photos, but those are penguins on her underwear!! Sooooo cute! (So yeah, B’s love of penguins is akin to Zekeshem’s love of pandas. Now to find panda panties….hahahhaha!)

And that wraps it up!! We had a FANTASTIC day today, and we can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings! A huge thanks again to Miss B for being so much fun, and for being willing to share her images with you all. We know her husband is going to be completely surprised by these on their anniversary! We hope to be sharing even more images from our marathon weekend very soon. Good night for now!

WOW!! After making our Premiere Boudoir Marathon announcement such a short time ago, we’re thrilled to announce that this event set for August 22nd is SOLD OUT!!

The spots went quickly, and now we can’t wait to meet our six fabulous clients in person in just over a week! If you weren’t able to sign up in time for this event, don’t worry! We’ll be having another funtastic (yes, I said FUNtastic…I’m silly like that) Boudoir Marathon in Tampa on December 5th. Make sure you sign up early for that one! In the meantime, we’ll still be offering private sessions and would be happy to organize a marathon event for any group of 4 or more girls that come to us ready to book. (Perfect for a bachelorette party or just a fun day with the girls!)

What’s next on our calendar? We’ve got Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Toronto, and Miami marathons coming this fall! If you live in one of those cities, you’re in luck…we’re still accepting reservations. (Just as a heads up, we’re already booking for these locations and have barely begun advertising!)

If you’re on our VIP List, you’ll continue to get word of our pricing and specials a day ahead of the general public. Not on our List? Not a problem! Just fill out our contact form by visiting our website at www.Room3307.com, and just ask to be added. Don’t forget to mention which city and date you’re interested in!

To all the girls who have reservations for next Saturday, we can’t wait to meet you!!! And now I’m off for a fun night of delicious desserts and catching up with old friends…always a good thing!

This is our official Tampa Boudoir Marathon pricing announcement! See below for details:

Please remember that there are only 4-5 spots available, and they’re gonna go fast! Our next Tampa Bay area marathon won’t take place until November or December. (But we’d be happy to schedule a private session for you if you can’t make one of our marathon dates!)

And just to make it even more fun, to celebrate our first marathon we’re upgrading your professional makeover to include airbrush makeup by our fabulous makeup artist, Aimee. (You’ll love her!) Our good friend, Lesley, owner of The Pink Petticoat in Hyde Park, is also offering 20% off your fine lingerie purchases for this event. Her store is super girly and fun…you won’t want to leave! (Make sure to check out the adorable pink dressing rooms!)

Get ready to have fun, relax with some champagne while getting your makeover, rock out to music and feel absolutely amazing!

We are so excited about our premiere marathon! We look forward to creating beautiful images for you and having a great time doing it! We want this to be the best possible experience for you and are doing our best to take care of every little detail for you.
